I turn to him. “My husband. If I’m lucky enough to get married.”
“You want to be married?” He glances my way again as he changes lanes.
“Yes, when I’ve done all the things I want to do.”
“And what all do you want to do?”
“Whatever the fuck I want.” My hand falls to my lap as the car slows, and he pulls up in front of the Four Seasons. He hands the keys to the valet as he gets out. My door is opened, and the valet nods to me as I slide out. Zuko waits for me on the sidewalk as I stroll around to meet him. He steps up to the registration desk and hands them another black card, and we are told a room number.
I wonder what sex with him includes.
Will he be rough?
And why the fuck did I agree to any of this?
How stupid am I?
Oh, that’s right, I’m horny. And my vibrator just isn’t cutting it the way it has for the last few years. I need the heat of a body.
A hot body.
The elevator dings, announcing its arrival, and we both get in it. Neither of us says anything, but I can feel his eyes all over me. Tracing my body and waiting for me to turn to look back at him. I focus on the floor indicator, and when it comes to ours, I don’t move. His hand finds my lower back, and he leans over my shoulder, his breath tickling my ear.
“Step out.”
My feet move at his command, his hand hot on my lower back as I go.
“Where did that confidence go?” he whispers into my ear, his front hitting my back as he urges me closer to the door.
I’m not sure where it went—out the front dooris all I can think of because I am a confident person, sassy, ruthless, and independent. But this man makes me feel vulnerable. And weirdly, sexy too. I’m not going to lie, it’s a nice change to not be the one in control. It’s heady and a huge turn on.
Huge.
“Cat got your tongue?” He puts the keycard to the door, and my hands reach out to stop myself from moving forward, but the door opens, and his breath tickles my ear. “Trouble, Trouble, Trouble…” He steps in, and I follow. The door swings shut behind us, and I manage not to jump at the sound of it closing.
Damn, I’m hyper aware.
While I take a moment to get my breathing under control, I scan the lush hotel room. Damn, he spared no expense just for a room to fuck me in. I would’ve been okay with a standard room and a queen bed. This looks like a luxury apartment. Two elegant wingback chairs in a deep purple two shades deeper than royal purple compliments the contemporary light gray studded couches. Egg-shell drapes blow in the warm breeze whispering through the white-paned windows open to a terrace with a panoramic view.
I step into the bedroom and gasp at the French blue walls with a cream and bronze Damask wallpaper behind an oak four poster bed with sheer curtains tied to each pole by velvet ropes. Zuko walks to the bed, sits down, and kicks off his shoes. Then he leans back and flicks a look to his crotch then to me. “You owe me if I remember correctly.” He motions to the card still in my hand. “I got you a car and a condo.”
I can’t help the laugh that bubbles up from inside me.
This man in front of me sees no humor in his words, he just sits there resting back, waiting for…
Me?
I’m not even sure what. But it’s a time for me to take advantage of what’s essentially laid out on a silver platter.
NINE
Zuko
She’s a firecracker.
One I want to put out with my mouth.
Her eyes soak in every piece of me as I sit on the bed.
